There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
View MoreThe story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreA family needs a babysitter and cute Heather (India Eisley) with a hidden past seems perfect. Wife (Laura Allen) installs cam. Dad (JCam Gigandet) enjoys cam. We have seen this genre played out ad nauseam.Lifetime didn't add anything to the mix.Guide: No f-bomb or nudity. Sex scene.
View MoreI didn't expect great things, but beyond the predictable and absurd story line, the acting is, for the most part, pretty ordinary to out right horrid, and the direction and editing pedestrian at best. And please don't even start me on -spoiler- the scene with the old baby sitter, who is watching TV when she suspects someone is in the house. You can hear dialogue from the TV but when we cut to the TV it's the iconic shadow on the wall shot of Nosferatu walking up stairs. A silent movie. Silent. And really, could it be any more clichéd? Cut to scary, shadowy tree branches, creepy statue.... Blergh. Basically.
View MoreI didn't expect great depth from this film, but thought it might be entertaining. Instead, it was annoying because of the corny lines and ham acting, totally unbelievable and largely predictable. I've seen better acting school plays than than this film. It starts, predictably enough from the title, with a working mum who wants to spy on her nanny after an accident the old one. Along comes a girl in the nick of time making cow eyes at her husband and being the new bf of her 5 year-old. Of course she's a psycho with a dark past, who tries to frame the wife, seduce the husband & abduct the daughter. The whole thing comes to a sticky, if predictable, end, although the last scene, the "twist", I hadn't guessed, although I don't think it added anything to the film. It was the lack of depth to the characters, the weak dialogues and wooden acting which make the whole thing rather risible and tedious. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law wanted to watch it to the end, along with gasps of "oh, what a bad girl" which was more amusing than the film itself. I'm glad she enjoyed it.
View MoreWorking mother Laura Allen and handsome, well-built husband Cam Gigandet (as Linda and Mark Kessler) leave their little girl with elderly, hard-of-hearing babysitter Carol Herman (as Barbara Highsmith) and a mishap occurs. The couple reluctantly hires attractive young India Eisley (as Heather Lambert) as a new babysitter for gap-toothed little Farrah Mackenzie (as Chloe). The teenage babysitter shows off a hickey on her upper thigh to bond with the little girl, who is scarred from the opening incident...Because she and Mr. Gigandet are often out working and don't want another unexplained incident to occur, Ms. Allen sets up a hidden camera to monitor events in the home. Of course, the sexy babysitter becomes a star. There are also some startling revelations...This formula has been done before, and much more memorably. "Nanny Cam" stumbles around its titillating situation. The biggest thing caught on tape is disappointing; it's obvious the supposed male "abductor" is not even participating in the act, but nobody seems to notice. This is the first time producer Nancy Leopardi takes credit for directing a feature and she works well with the actors. As a seemingly psycho teenage sex object, Eisley shows a great range of emotions. The ending disappoints.**** Nanny Cam (12/28/14) Nancy Leopardi ~ India Eisley, Laura Allen, Cam Gigandet, Farrah Mackenzie
